AN INNOVATIVE TREATMENT METHODOLOGY
Here is background on this release. Treatment for trauma, PTSD, and addiction needs to address many, multifaceted needs. First and foremost, treatment needs to address the needs of the whole person recognizing the client as a partner in treatment. Second, the Centre has medical staff on site and thus can deal with the physical and mental issues of detox. Third, at the Centre clients have a cornucopia of treatment options. Finally, after treatment and release, clients are sent back into society and these newly announced post-treatment options help bolster the client’s ability to retain the new skills they have learned and thus to recover from trauma, PTSD, and addiction.
